COMBINATION CURTAIN POLE AND SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed June 18, 1919. Serial No. 304,986.

To (1% whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, STEPHEN Goon, a citizen of the United States,residing at Oleveland, in the county of Ouya-hoga and State of Ohio,have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in CombinationOurtain Poles and Shade Holders, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings.

This invention relates generally to curtain fixtures and moreparticularly to a combined curtain and shade support.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficientcombination device which can be quickly and easily attached to a windowframe and can be used for supporting shades of varying widths, and alsocapable of use upon windows of varying widths. This is important, as itfrequently happens that the possessor of shades of definite widths isconfronted with frames of different widths and unless some provision ismade to accommodate such variations it is necessary to procure newshades of the proper width.

This invention is intended to avoid these difficulties and consists inthe novel features of construction hereinafter fully described and thenpointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the central support with curtain shadebrackets and ourtain pole support connected thereto; Fig. 2 is a faceview of the central support; Fig. 3 is a sectional view of said centralsupport, the curtain pole bracket being shown in elevation; and Fig. 4is a perspective view of the end support with curtain shade bracket andcurtain pole support.

In carrying out my invention, I employ two right angle shaped supportswhich are rights and lefts and are adapted to be fastened to the face ofthe window frame, at the right and left corners thereof. These supportsare of light metal and each comprise the horizontal arm A and thevertical arm B both having holes to receive fastening screws by means ofwhich the supports are attached to the frame. The horizontal arms A arepreferably made dove tail and adjustable thereon, are the shade holdingbrackets O each having a foot piece D through which works the set screwE for fastening the bracket at any desired point of adjustment upon thehorizontal arm of thesupport. By this construction any width of shadecan be held irrespectiveof the width of the window frame. The corner ofthe support is notched as shown at F and recessed as shown at G toreceive the hooked end H of the curtain pole bracket I, the brace memberof said bracket having a lug K which enters an opening L produced in thelower end of the vertical arm B, thereby detachably connecting thecurtain pole bracket to the support. The outer ends of the bracket armsare curved to receive the curtain pole M.

For double and triple windows I use a double support. The support inthis instance has one vertical arm B and two oppositely extendinghorizontal arms A which are dove tailed in cross section and areintended to receive the shade brackets thereon; and at the center of thesupport is the notch F and recess G as previously described to receivethe hooked end of the curtain pole bracket, and the lower end of thevertical member is also provided within the opening L to receive the lugat the lower end of the curtain pole bracket.

From the above description in connection with the accompanying drawings,it will be seen that I provide acombination fixture which is capable ofsuch adjustments as will enable one to accommodate given widths ofshades to varying widths of window frames.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

In a device of the kind described, the combination with a supportcomprising a vertical arm and oppositely disposed horizontal armsextending from the upper end of said vertical arm, there being a recessat the juncture of said horizontal and vertical arms, said vertical armalso having an aperture near its lower end, of shade brackets adjustableupon the horizontal arm, and a curtain pole bracket having a hook at itsupper end to engage the recessed portion of the horizontal arm, and alug at its lower end engaging the aperture in the lower end of thevertical arm, the outer end of said curtain pole bracket being curved toreceive a curtain pole.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature.

STEPHEN GOOD.
